Six minutes out of halftime the Blue Devils reclaimed the lead as Reilly Condidorio controlled a ball in the center of the field and beat Lowe into the lower left corner to make it 2-1. Two minutes later Condidorio played a through ball up the left side to Katie Kleine who finished it into the right corner to open up a two-goal lead. The Blue Devils tacked on another score in the 61st minute when Mary Burton fed Kleine who beat Lowe near post.
 
In the 64th minute EC had a golden chance to get the game back within two when Kelsie DeKarski '14 played a beautiful cross to Sara Hovendon '15 whose header was saved by Fredonia keeper Meaghan Meszaros.
 
Fredonia held a 23-9 shots and 12-6 shots on goal advantage in the contest. Lowe finished with eight saves for EC, while Meszaros stopped five shots for the Blue Devils.
